Removing diamond drive 09 hcr

[aktreekiller]

I took the bolts off, and she dosen't want to move. Whats the secret?

 

[Chapman]

Have you removed the bolt on the brake side inside of the driveshaft?

 

[aktreekiller]

oh man

That dosen't sound good at all!!! I that the last one?

16mm inside trackshaft from the brake side. Loosen a few turns and then tap the end of the socket extension to free the DD, then loosen completely. You may also want to loosen the track tension.

 

[aktreekiller]

yeah

I thought I could do it, but it sounds a wee bit complicated for my mechainical abilities on a sled. I just figured out to change the belt an hour ago!!! Tim+

Are you removing the complete diamond drive, or the cover of the diamond drive?

 

[aktreekiller]

yeah

I wanted to take it out so I can take it somewhere else without taking the whole sled. How do you get to that 16mm brake side nut?

It is on the right hand side of the sled....... Remove the side panel, Take a flashlight and look down the trackshaft ( Brake is attached to the trackshaft) You should be able to see the bolt

finally

I finally got the diamond drive out after a trip for tools, a six pack, and a can of chew!!! We'll see how it goes putting it back in. It hits the metal protector strip for belt making it difficult to come staight out. Got the pipe in, diamond drive out, and shocks revalved. Thanks for the help guys. Tim

Who revalved your shocks? Rayzner?

I think it was the can of chew, that put him over the top!
